Chapter 24

"I used to imagine myself living in the forest, living like a savage." Keore said, biting flower candy.

Luo Binhan asked curiously, "Do you still have forests there?"

Keore puffed out his chest. "Of course!" he said proudly, "Every livable planet must maintain an appropriate proportion of greenery. We will hire local people to plant and maintain it, and maintain some ecological planets that specifically raise animals. Before I joined the army, every year In spring, I will go to the nearby forest park with my family.”

Luo Binhan is not interested in outings. His greatest hobby is watching movies and playing games at home. "Do you have video games there?" He asked expectantly, "The kind of virtual reality game? It looks like a real game environment around you?"

"Oh, of course." Keore said, his tone didn't seem very eager, "You're talking about it, I played a lot with Ozzie when I was young, but I haven't been in touch with it for a long time."

This time Luo Binhan was really surprised. He couldn't understand that there are young men in the world who can refuse VR games—except Zhou Yu. He is sure that the medical student is a living fossil that has survived from the Pleistocene to the Internet age.

Keore scratched his head and explained to him.

"It's kind of fun when you're first getting into it," he said, "but you get saturated pretty quickly, I mean, like the firewood chicken dinner that's popular at the Winter Star Festival. It's a good meal once in a while. , but it's easy to get tired of eating every day, isn't it? It's fresh for a few times, but when you get used to it, you will find it's bad. You'll eat those bland vegetables that are boring, so you have to keep adding more Salt and spices are enough to eat, it ruins your eating habits in normal days, you will have a stomachache, drink more water, vegetables and vegetarian meat can't be eaten at all. Unlimited supply of firewood chicken Those few years were a disaster for medical workers, and after that, depression and overproduction followed... Anyway, the Shimuji thing messed up our area. In the end, the government had to buy those Shimuji companies .Light display has similar troubles. Connecting it for too long will damage the nerve sensitivity, so I stopped playing after joining the army. Besides, I manage the detection room, and light display is the most commonly used thing. You understand? This is It's like asking a programmer to play a programming game. It feels like working overtime, what fun can there be in overtime?"

Luo Binhan doesn't know how to work overtime. In fact, after graduating from university, he has been eating and waiting to die. Apart from trying to take over and managing his father's property, he has never worked seriously.He still can't imagine a world where VR gaming technology is mature but few people are addicted to it.

"So you don't touch light now except for work?" He asked Keore in disbelief, "Do you think Forest Park is more interesting?"

Keore coughed subtly.

"...not all," he stammered, "I mean, light doesn't necessarily have to be used in games, right? Sometimes you feel lonely and bored and want to play tricks. For example, some software can work with simulated mechanical Using the human body, it will make the doll look like different looks and personalities, you can choose your favorite mode, and then..."

Luo Binhan and him looked at each other meaningfully.The former deeply feel the transcendent resonance of their being male.

"Then do you have a girlfriend?" he asked boldly.

"There are too few opportunities in the army." Keore said quickly, "I will definitely find a suitable one when I leave the army."

After he finished speaking, he closed his mouth firmly, as if he had made up his mind not to continue this topic.Luo Binhan felt the same about this, and said solemnly: "Then let's continue talking about the forest."

At this time, Jing Huang just appeared and walked into the round hall.

"What forest?" he asked sullenly.

Luo Binhan exhaled, and said leisurely: "Lonely forest."

Keore stood up nervously from his seat.He didn't seem to know how to treat Jing Huang, and after a moment of confusion, he still gave a military salute.

"Thank you again for your assistance, Mr. Xuanhong." He obviously learned the address for Jing Huang from Momolo, "The Holy Council will remember everything you have done. We hope to be able to repay you in the future."

"Go away, don't bother me." Jing Huang said darkly.His left arm was hanging obediently at the moment, but the whole person seemed to be even more lethargic.

"Mr. Xuanhong has always been like this." Momolo comforted Keore, "Don't give up, Mr. Keore. As long as you persist in treating him with enthusiasm, you will surely gain his trust."

"I don't think so." Luo Binhan said kindly.In the brief exchange just now, he and Keore quickly established a friendship that corresponds to each other.

Jing Huang pointed out expressionlessly: "Go out."

Luo Binhan was taken aback, quickly got up and patted him on the shoulder and said, "Brother Jing, calm down, brother Jing, what we agreed to only eat gangsters? Isn't it appropriate to force people to jump into the sea?"

Jing Huang flicked him outside: "You go out too."

"Huh?" Robin Han said.

"Here is the place."

The four of them walked onto the deck.Yale Liga was standing at the bow and waiting.She frowned slightly worriedly, holding a thin iron fork in her hand, and a bucket at her feet.

"Captain," she said, "we've got seed."

Luo Binhan walked to the barrel.He saw that the barrel was filled with dense black crustaceans, whose shape and physique were a bit like barnacles, with a layer of metallic luster on the surface.When he tried to pick one out of it, he was pulled away by Yale Liga.

"They'll bite you," she said, sticking the fork in.Those black barnacles stretched out moist, slimy and soft, long tentacles like octopus tentacles, greedily adsorbing on the surface of the iron fork.When Yale Liga tried to pull back the iron fork, sharp needle-like teeth spewed out from the long-bearded suction cups.

Luo Binhan took a step back to the side of the boat in fright, and Jing Huang immediately stretched out his hand to drag him back.

"Don't play it dead," he said, "Now the outside of the boat is probably full of things like this."

Luo Binhan boldly glanced outside, and saw that the outer side of the ship was indeed densely covered with "barnacles".They squeezed the bulwarks so that there was no gap, as if they were covered with black stone flowers.

"How to deal with this thing?" Luo Binhan asked fearfully.He felt a little dense phobia.

Jing Huang stared at the barnacles in the barrel for a few seconds.

"Leave it alone," he said at last, "it won't grow in a few days anyway. Send those idiots away."

Keore also came to the bow to observe the "barnacles".His reaction was more exaggerated than Robin Han's.

"My God," he exclaimed, "what kind of monster is that?"

Luo Binhan looked at him a little strangely: "Have you never eaten aquatic products?"

"What fish?" Keore said.His eyes were fixed straight ahead of the sea.

At this time, Luo Binhan realized that what he was looking at was not a barnacle.Following his line of sight, there is a huge shadow under the sea of ​​fire ahead.The area covered by the shadow was so vast that Luo Binhan had always regarded it as the original color of the flame.

The Silence was moving slowly toward that shadow.Keore picked up the metal lily brooch pinned to his collar—their radio.He's been using this to communicate with his compatriots on the buoyancy rack aft of the boat.

"Golden Dome! Golden Dome!" he yelled. "We saw a very large shadow! That was magnificent! Whales? Dinosaurs? I don't know what it is..."

While he was speaking, Thorn floated up from the deck, and the pale red cloud was held at his feet, and flew over the railing to the vast shadow.

The tumbling air waves on the surface of the sea of ​​fire began to rotate clockwise regularly.When Jing Juan was suspended above the sea of ​​flames, above the shadows, a huge vortex had already formed in the sea of ​​flames.It spread outward in a circle, revealing the true face of the shadow under the flames.

A membrane wall that is as smooth as a mirror.

The surface of the membrane wall reflects an incomparably gorgeous galaxy.The stars shone on it, like fine gemstones mixed into the Styx, flowing slowly with the waves.When the vortex separated the entire membrane wall from the sea of ​​flames, Luo Binhan finally discovered that it was a huge and perfectly round sphere.

The sphere is suspended under the sea of ​​fire, and the flowing pattern on its surface is like the deep space of the universe.An exceptionally bright yellow star passes right across the top of the sphere.

The thorns above the vortex landed in the center of the vortex, and landed next to the star reflected on the sphere.He covered the surface of the pitch-black membrane wall with his palm, where it slowly sank as if melting.

"What is he doing?" Robin Han asked.

"Open the sky wall," said Momolo, "and we shall enter the world within."
